You are correct sir, the nanny state has provided an easy target for blame in recent times and the cry of 'the government should do more' has become so over used as to make it ridiculous.

The government should do less imo, get out of my life and stop trying to raise peoples kids, pay their bills and otherwise try to turn us into lazy disrespectful wasters.

For me the biggest concern is back problems due to shortening of hip flexor being sat down too long. I have been helped alot by the instructors at my gym they would help anyone else too at if you ask them

Good bit of necomany there carl!

However welcome to the forums, why not post an intro and let us know what you are all about.

I know what he's all about.

To lose fat, you don't need to do any CV. The more muscle you have on you is burning fat even when you're sat down. The key element is diet. It's 90% what you put in your mouth and 10% training. Doing 2-3 weight sessions per week, full body routine in each one should have you feeling puffed out, so there shouldn't be any need for CV work (although I do recommend a warm up and cool down CV stuff). Weight training burns more calories long after you've stopped training than what CV does.

But anyway !

So its safe to assume that every fat person I see on the bus/train/tram on my way to and from work are IT techs?

Hey! I resemble that remark!

Regardless of what time you work you can stay healthy - Who need's machines in the gym and treadmills.

Get on the running shoes..go a run 3x a week (any time of the day) and get yourself a set of dumbbells and do some good old situps/pressups & crunches that's what I do.

So tbh there is no excuse cause the beauty of the above is you can do it anytime!
